Flamey Lion 2015

Flamy Lion is Lviv’s ‘hottest’ festival and will be sure to ‘light up’ your late August calendar. This fiery 3-day festival features many young artists and musicians as well as spectacular fire dance shows, glassblowing exhibitions, and a display of fireworks. The event was launched as a way to provide budding local artists the chance to perform in front of an audience and to gain exposure. The family-friendly event also acts as a fundraiser benefitting the needs of soldiers fighting in the ATO zone.

Leopolitans and guests of the city will have the opportunity to check out a wide variety of musical groups, including the melodic death metal sound of ForceOut, the festive folk melodies of HAPSYD, or the heavy thrash metal of EXACT DIVISION. Of course, the exceptional art of fire and dancing will also be on display as professional fire theatres from around Ukraine come to the city. Be sure to check out Ivano-Frankivsk’s Ognevid, Cherkassy’s Svarozhychy, Vynnitsa’s Sweet Fire, Kharkiv’s NoFrost, Priluky’s Agniy, Kyiv’s Fire Furia, and of course, Lviv’s own Dynamic Art.

Each highly polished show combines the elegance and grace of contemporary dance with the mesmerizing beauty of fire. The event will also feature a hand-made goods fair and a series of workshops on fire dancing. If you’re looking for quality, family-friendly entertainment, Flamey Lion promises to thrill, mesmerize, and enchant.
